NEW DELHI, Nov 29: The Aam Aadmi Party on Friday slammed the BJP-led Central government over the “deteriorating” law and order situation in the city, alleging that Delhi has been turned into “gangster capital”.
The BJP hit back at AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, saying he was citing crime statistics thinking it would overshadow his failures and the deaths of 50 people due to waterlogging and electric shocks during the rainy season and loss of several lives in January this year.During a discussion on the law and order situation in the Assembly, the AAP leaders, including Kejriwal, held Home Minister Amit Shah responsible for the alleged deteriorating situation in the national capital.
Kejriwal alleged that Delhi is being run by “gangsters” as the residents face growing threats.“Shootouts are happening openly on a daily basis. It feels like gangs control Delhi. Businessmen live in constant fear of extortion calls, often followed by violent attacks on their shops and showrooms, today Delhi is known as the ‘gangster capital’ of the world,” he alleged.During his address, Kejriwal also questioned the unchecked activities of alleged gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is accused of running extortion rackets.
